Denise L. Emerson, an artist and graphic designer of Diné (Navajo) and Twana (Skokomish) tribal descent, creates artworks deeply rooted in her familial relationships and cultural heritage. Her works merge traditional methods with contemporary practices, exploring and experimenting with self-expression. “I use historical photos of the two tribes I belong to, and create compositions using the tribal people in them. I do this for my beadwork and [two]-dimensional artwork.”
